Chapter 279 - 232 : Villainous Heavens (1/2)

”That's one gone, two more to go.”

Arthur smirked as he saw the falling black ashes of the deceased Vermillion Bird. He expected a huge powerup once the chains were broken, but the amount of power boost he just received is really inconceivable.

Although the matter of dying after 12 hours is still on his mind, he decided to ponder about that imminent problem later on, when the threat of the Divine Beasts is gone for good.

With the Vermillion Bird's death, the other two became terrified as they shrieked and violently shook their bodies in an attempt to get away from this area.

Their fear of the thunder was really genuine, they didn't even put up Arthur in their eyes for they were too focused on the red thunderbolts descending from above.

Fortunately for them, the tribulation seemed to ignore their existence completely, thus sparing them from the thunderbolts which could incinerate them whether they resisted or not.

The third round of thunderbolts was soon going to begin as purple thunder started twisting and roaring above Arthur. The dark clouds seemed to clear a large path for what appeared to be a celestial being coming to this plane.

Arthur still wasn't fazed by this sight, he glanced at the cage of the thunder around him and waved his hand, hitting the back of his palm on the cage as if it was nothing.

The cage shook upon contact with his skin again but it didn't shatter, contrary to his expectations. He withdrew his hand and used a simple palm attack on the cage, with this one containing a bit more force than his simple backslap from a second ago.

'CLACK CLACK!'

The cage just couldn't handle it, it broke into thousands of small thunderbolts that his hand, dealing no damage and only causing him to feel a small itch, unremarkable in any way.

After he got rid of the cage, Arthur shifted his attention back to the descending heavenly figure, it was a humanoid silhouette made from pure red lightning, it wielded a purple spear that had white thunder twirling around it.

Without waiting for it to attack him or ready itself, Arthur made use of his new physique to charge at the enemy. With his new physical abilities, not only was his strength absurd, all his stats increased, including his Agility.

In terms of speed, he was unparalleled, his copy even said that he could literally rip apart space with his hands and immediately go to the Earth, this showcased how powerful he just became.

In less than even a split second, he appeared before the large figure, he clenched his fist and punched down without restraining any of his strength like earlier.

And just like that, the humanoid figure which was supposed to be able to suppress him was sent flying away with its body bent in a weird way, it couldn't even retaliate since his speed was just something it couldn't react to.

Arthur wasn't done yet, he ripped the space with his hand and entered it, reappearing behind the flying humanoid figure. Without any slight hesitation, he kicked it hard on its back causing it to be pushed back yet again yet this time, white thunder descended from above, granting it some kind of a divine white armor.

Seeing this, Arthur snorted and appeared above it, he adjusted his stance and punched again yet this time, his fist emitted a faint green light that slowed the speed of his fist attack yet boosted its might and the pressure it emanated.
